HB 1827 -- GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE

For health insurance plans issued to an association covering both
small and large employers, this bill allows the difference in
premium rates charged between similar classes of business to
exceed 20% if the Director of the Department of Insurance
determines it will be in the public's interest.  The director may
also approve additional classes of business if the plan is
underwritten and rated as a single employer, has a uniform health
plan design, guarantees issuance to all members, and complies
with all other federal and state insurance requirements.  The
bill also reduces the membership requirement for policies issued
to associations from 100 to 50 members.
